IASB Research Forum 2017

The objective was to have 50 academic participants and 50 non-academic participants. The EAA invited the academics, and the Board invited the non-academics.

Selection of the non-academics was made to achieve an overall geographical balance with a specific focus on Europe this year, and a balance across different backgrounds, for example users, auditors, preparers and standard-setters.
